Detailed Description

Glutamic acid, is an acidic amino acid. Molecules containing two carboxyl groups, chemical name for α-amino-pentanedioic acid. Glutamic acid was discovered by lisuoxun in 1856, is a colorless Crystal, fresh, slightly soluble in water, soluble in hydrochloric acid, isoelectric point 3.22. Abound in cereal protein, animal content in the brain and more. Glutamic acid in vivo protein metabolism plays an important role in the process, participating in many important chemical reactions in animals, plants and micro-organisms. Msg containing small amounts of glutamic acid.

Functions

Glutamate involved in glutamate dehydrogenase as the center of the joint deamination (glutamate is deaminated).
In blood ammonia transit, glutamate and glutamine synthetase catalytic ammonia combine to generate glutamine. Glutamine neutral, non-toxic, easily through the cell membrane, is the main form of transport ammonia.

Applications

Can be the treatment of hepatic coma.
Because glutamate is delicious, industrial mass production of its single-salt for seasoning agent, commodities such as monosodium glutamate and extract.
